Plenty of non-criminals adopted bitcoin. Then they un-adopted it once they found out it was actually not useful at all.

The criminals stayed though.

I've legally bought and sold quite a few things on craigslist using cryptocurrencies. I'm personally finding it easier and easier to use cryptocurrency as a payments system as time goes on. You really don't know what you're talking about.

You could have done that just as easily, or easier, using other payment methods that are not boiling the planet.

Could have but did not want to? I want to use crypto and so do plenty of other people. That's why the option to use crypto on craigslist even exists.

First, it was criminals, now it's the planet. You are all over the place my guy. I'm doing what's best for me economically speaking; the planet is just gonna have to figure out a way to survive because I'm for sure doing fine.

All right, so you're a sociopath.

Not a sociopath, just someone whose priorities are in the following order:

- my family

- my friends

- my country

- the rest of the world

I'm not going to restrict my own economic goals to save the planet at the expense of the things above.

I don't know how to tell the difference between that statement, and what a sociopath would say in the same situation.

Then you don't know what the definition of a sociopath is at all.

Does the definition of a sociopath say what they would say in that situation?

Would you go vegan to reduce your CO2 output, and does it make you a sociopath if you dont?

Already did.

Thanks for your sacrifice, now I know what kind of tree hugging hippie Im talking to. The unfortunate reality of the world is that sacrificers like you have to live with resource gatherers like me. And your opinion about me, unfortunately for you, doesn't really impact my day to day life in any meaningful way.
